PSALME 112. (Book 112)

A Prayer for the feare of the Lord, for charity, and the blessings of the righteous.

BLessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he hath great delight in his commandments.

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the ge∣neration of the faithfull shall be blessed.

3 Riches and plenteousnesse shall be in his house: and his righteousuesse endureth for euer.

4 Unto the godly there ariseth up light in the darknesse: he is mercifull, louing, and righ∣teous.

5 A good man is mercifull, and lendeth: and will guide his words with discretion.

6 For he shall never be moued: and the righ∣teous shall be had in an euerlasting remembrance.

7 He will not be afraid for any euill tidings: for his heart standeth fast, and belieueth in the Lord.

8 His heart is stablished and will not shrinke: untill he see his desire upon his enemies.

9 He hath dispersed abroad and giuen to the poore: and his righteousnesse remaineth for euer, his horne shall be exalted with honour.

10 The ungodly shall see it▪ and it shall grieue him: he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away, the desire of the ungodly shall perish.

The Prayer.

O Lord God who art to be feared in the gene∣rations of the world, teach us the feare of thy Name, that we may feare to offend thee, and that delighting in thy Commandments, we may serve thee without feare of our enemies in holi∣nesse and righteousnesse all our dayes. Let thy light rise upon the darknesse of our understand∣ings; let thy mercies and gentlenesse cure all thoughts of unmercifulnesse in us, and make us charitable, of tender bowels, yearning with pit∣ty over the needs of the poore. Teach us to guide our words with discretion, make us never to

be moved from our purposes of holy living, sta∣blish our hearts in thy love, that in the day of re∣stitution of all things, thou mayest give us the portion of the charitable, the rewards of thy right hand, and when the wicked shall gnash with their teeth, and consume away in a sad eter∣nity, we may be satisfied with the riches and plenteousnesse of thy house for ever, through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
